You mentioned that you are separated from your first husband. Is your first marriage annulled already? If yes, who was given custody of the child?

Hi Pamela.

You should file the petition for your son using I-130. Although you might want to consult an immigration lawyer because there are several factors I am not sure of.

For example, it is possible that it would be better (faster) for you to wait till you become a US citizen before applying for your son.

Also, Im pretty sure that your son's birth certificate saying that you used to be married to his dad wont be a problem. But you might need your ex husband's blessing or something.

In a nutshell, yes you can petition your son but like I said earlier, the safest route is to consult a lawyer.

Yes your husband can petition him as his step son. I think that would be the shortest time to get him his visa. good luck
